Can anyone give me some pointers as to how I might get this feel using Lightroom 4?

Thanks!Jordan

To me it has this very instagram feel to it. Not sure how you acheive it in lightroom, but I have seen that it has been covered as a topic in several photoshop magazines lately, so I guess that googling instagram effect for lightroom would yield some result?

There are lots of Lightroom tutorials out there, so you need to dig deeper. The picture you provided has intense color changes (as well as raised shadows), so there's no manual how to achieve the same effect, it depends on the original file you edit. I suggest you to start from the logic and application results of each slider individually

This look can be achieved with tone curves and some contrast, but, I don't think this exact photo was manually edited. There are film presets out there that give you a very realistic vintage/film look with a click of a mouse. Useful for people who don't have that eye for the film look. These presets are everywhere but VSCO (as stated above) definitely makes the best set in my opinion. They can be very useful in bulk editing and/or old school shoots per say.
